I Miss the Mississippi and You

I'm growing tired of the big cities' lights

Tired of the glamour, and tired of the sights

In all my dreams I am roaming once more

Back to my home on the old river shore

I am sad and weary

Far away from home

Miss the mississippi and you

Days are dark and dreary

Everywhere I roam

Miss the mississippi and you

Rolling the wide world over

Always alone and blue

Nothing seems to cheer me

Under heaven's dome

Miss the mississippi, and you

Memories are bringing

Happy days of you're

Miss the mississippi and you

Mockingbirds are singing around the cabin door

Miss the mississippi and you

Rolling the wide world over

Always alone and blue

Longing for my homeland

Muddy water shore

Miss the mississippi, and you
